The Prom 2017 Playlist You Need to Listen to Right Now

Prom 2017 is just a few short weeks away and as you finalize what you'll be wearing, you should also make sure you prepare yourself for the most important part of the night: the music. Since most of you are probably not DJing (though if you are... props to you for making that happen), not only will you need a list of song requests for the evening, but more importantly a playlist to get you excited for the incredible rite of passage.

When it comes to your big night, playing the right kind of music can take the already-special moment to a whole other level. From Rihanna and Calvin Harris's pump up throwback "We Found Love" to a few of Justin Bieber's Purpose album hits, and even Shawn Mendes's passionate ballads, we guarantee you'll most definitely want to hear every single song from our roundup at some point throughout your night.

Since most of you probably still have his latest album on repeat, why not kick off your special weekend with The Weeknd's first single from the album of the same title? The charts prove it's certainly a hit that everybody loves.

These two prove they're certainly the duo to watch out for and this chart-topper is no different. Maybe getting hyped up to their collab will even get you to opt for an athleisure look in honor of their spin-class music video.

Lose yourself in the iconic intro of one of Rihanna and Calvin's first collabs from — wait for it — 2011. (Yes, it's been that long.) If you find yourself wanting more, go ahead and request "This Is What You Came for." Trust us, we know you'll want to.

Though your energy will stay high for the majority of the evening, part of the night will also include slow dances and what's better than dancing to James's sweet ballad. His lyrics will hands down give you feels as you dance in the arms of your date.

Chances are you'll probably hear this Bieber favorite more than once. Whether you're putting on makeup, on the way to pick up your date, or busting some moves on the dance floor, the single's drops are perfect for all those scenarios. You can even switch things up with the Latino remix.

"Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber

Here's another Belieber fave you need to hear multiple times. From the guitar riff to Justin's smooth voice, it's perfect for the occasion.

If you really want to bring everyone together, think about reviving the mannequin challenge with your class. For you trend setters out there who have already done one, let nostalgia take its course for another one. Come on, when is the next time you'll all really be together again?
